full of the gentle pathos which has always
tempered and purified his work, and
breathing the fondest love for his dead
wife, to whom he pays the following
tribute in closing:
Gas close this paper miss the loving
collaboration that with so much grace
and delicacy would have better prepared
these pages for the reader The first
throb of literary ambition, my earliest and
later successes, so far as have been sue
cessful, whatever words of mine men may
be pleased to remember most pleasantly,
whatever of earnestness and high purpose
there is in my life, whatever Inspiration
l ever had or have that enters into nay
work and makes it more worthy of ac-
ceptance owe to the greatest, best and
wisest of critics and collaborators, a low
ing, devoted wife. And if ever I should
win one of the prizes which men some
times give to those who amuse them, the
wreath should not be placed on the jester
who laughs and sings, but on the brow of
her who inspired the mirth and the
song"

HOME.

OH what is homei that sweet companionshiT
OF life the better part;
The happy smile Of welcome on the LIN
Upspringing from the heart.
It is the eager clasp Of kindly hands,
The long remembered tone,
The rendy sympathy which understands
All feeling by It's own
The rosy cheek of little children pressed
To ours in loving glee;
The presence of our dearest and our best,
No matter where we be.
And, failing this, a prince may homeless live
Though palace walls are nigh;
And, having il, desert shore may give
The joy wealth cannot buy.
Far reaching as the earth's remotest span,
widespread as ocean foam,
One thought is sacred in the breast of man
1t is the thought of home.
That little word his human fate shall bind
With destinies above,
bor there the home Of his immortal mind
Is in Gods wider love.

sensation After AmputatiOn.

Another lrious case Of apparent sensa-
ton in a member of the body after it had
been amputated comes from Florida.
George w. Clay's arm was amputated,
put in box and buried. Soon afteEward
he began to complain that the fingers of
the buried hand were eramped and. that
there was sand between them. His
physician and his sister had the box dug
up and opened, and found the fingers
cramped and the sand between, Just as
George had said. They arranged the
arm properly and reburied it. Clay said
that while they were gone he felt an awful
pain in the amputated arm, and then
came a sensation of great relief, and there
was no longer the old cramped sensation
in the hand. Free Press.

The ArchbishOp's Neat RetOrt.

The story is told that Archbishop Ryan
and ex-Attorney General Wayne Mac
Veagh were present at recent gathering,
which included number of prominent
railroad officials. Mr.. MacVeagh brought
the railroad men and the Archbishop to-
gether, ard after the first salutations were
over Mr.. MacVeagh turned to Archbishop
Ryan and said: "Now, Archbishop,
these are gentlemen whose acquaintance
it would be well for you to cultivate. If
you once get on the right side of them
they will give you passes over all their
lines" and then the Attorney General
added: "Of course, they will expect in
return that you will give them all passes
to heaven" The Archbishop's response
came quickly and quietly: my dear
sir, /" he said, 'I should be only too happy
to give the gentlemen passes to heaven If
it lay within my power, but should re-

Colonel W. L. Utlcy, who recently died
at Racine, Wisconsin, was ''the owner Of
the last slave on American soil, says a
correspondent of the Milwaukee Sentinel.
When he was in Tennessee with his regi-
ment, a colored boy escaped from his
master and sought refuge in the Colonel's
tent. The owner came into camp the
next day and demanded the surrender of
his property, but Colonel Utley refused to
give up the boy. Several years afterward
the slaye-owner brought suit in the United
States Court in the Milwaukee District
for damages, and secured a verdict of
81 900, which Colonel Utley paid
This, says the correspondent, was the
last judgment of the kind. Colonel
Utley applied to Congress for relief, and
more than ten years after the emancipa-
ton proclamation he was Unidentified by
the government for the money he gave
for the boys freedom.

A Bird Kills Itself.

An incident occurred in Salem yester-
day which likely will not be repeated in
a half dozen centuries. An English spar
row was building nest in the porch of
Mr.. Z. A. Ebert's residence, and carried
a string to the nest, and had it partially
woven in, when it attempted to fly, and
by some means the other end of the string
became entangled around its head, and
held it fast tethered by the neck. The
helpless little creature became frightened
and futtered and struggled in vain to
free itself The miniature moose only
closed tighter about its throat till finally
it dropped dead-hung by the neck as
neatly as human hand could have done
it. The incident, which probably has
not a duplicate in history, recalls one of a
somewhat similar character with regard
to a horse. He was grazing, and had on
halter with a short rein dangling from
his head. The horses tail was short and
stubby, and in throwing his head around
to scare off a fly, the bride rein got
hitched over the tail. The horse finding
his head fastened, became excited, gave
a sudden and violent jerk of his head,
which broke his neck and resulted in in.

THE GRAND JURY MISLED.
A Party of Small Boys. Supposed To Be Dan
gerous Characters, Indicted for Rioting.

When the grand jury made its final report
two weeks ago, among the indictments returned
were eight for rioting. The reporters were re-
quested to observe the utmost secrecy regarding
the indictments until the arrests were made. for
fear the criminals would leave the country. It
was generally supposed that the indicted persons
resided in the city. but the information was fur
nished several days after the jury had adjourned
that the riot had occurred at Cumberland, ard
that the arrests would be made as soon as the
parties could be found. A week ago a deputy
sheriff, armed with the warrants began search
ing for the persons wanted. but he was unsuc-
cessful until yesterday morning when he aseer-
tanned that the indicted parties were eight
small boys at Cumberland, ranging in
age from seven to eleven years. He was
considerably astounded. but finally concluded to
serve the warrants on four of the urchlns and
bring them in for examples of the notorious
gang" The boys he brought in were Charles
Rice, Willie Lynch, Charles Almond and John
Han1lln. He marched them I'D before Judge
Irwin, who released them all on their own recog-
niZance.
1t a case where the grand jury was badly
duped. On March % there was an entertain
ment at a school house near Cumberland, to
which an admission fee was charged. The eight
small boys were unable to get in for want of
money, and they went to grocery store and
bought ten cents worth of eggs, which they
threw at the school house. The grand Jurors
heard of the affair. and summoned a few wit
nesses, who told exaggerated stories about the
occurrence, and left the impression that the sri
oters" were men and bad characters The jury
neglected to ask their ages, and made haste to
return indictments against what they thought
was dangerous gang.

THE COMBINE" THAT
OUGHTTO BEMADE

The entertainments of combined
capital upon the individual worker
are producing combinations at the
other end in the shape of labor or
CARNATIONS aud Unions OF all kind s
many Of which are most unwisely
conducted.
The whole tendency of business
not only with the large corporations,
hut with the commercial trade kings,
who assume to represent the bust
ness of the country, is a tendency to
create nIonopOlies by a system of
pools, trusts and corners-and the
transactions involved, it seems are
considered honorable and legitimate
and perhaps may be so, hut certain~
lY no more SO than that of the gam
bier who plays his game OF p,ker
fairly. ALI the individual workers
of the land who can, in The nature of
thin IS, have no such combinations
among them in the shape of poo Is,
trusts, and other semi-swin Hing
concerns, intended TO create mono
poly and break down competition,
should move shoulder to shoulder
in the fight for fair taxation and
against monopoly.
BY individual workers we mean
those who represent individual en-
ergy and individual zeal as against
the pocket zeal and energy of the
commonpurses of conscienceless
capital.
Instead of organizing int6htt'e
clubs, unions which amount to
nothing and the true remedies are
first to vote together so as to break
down the enormous fraud of making
the thousand tributary to the dozen
under our tariff system, and second
by such legislation as can be constr
tntionally, justly and fair y secured
make monOpolies as far as possible
impracticable in our land,
